Having grown up in Rybinsk, a military town surrounded by wooden villages and falling just outside the periphery of the greater region of Moscow, Elena has always pursued her ambition.“Water skiing plays such a big role in my life. I've been skiing since I was ten. In Russia, we ski in a swimming pool during the winter. That's how I started. In my heart, I was always competitive, and my dream was to be involved in sport at a serious level.”Her goal was to become a World Champion. 14 years later the dream became reality, and she won her first World Championship title in Colombia, 1997. She defended her title two years later in Milano.

At the age of 28, Elena is travelling as a professional athlete and has made Switzerland her home since 1991. She spends most of her time doing competitions around the globe and trains in Spain with Xavi Mill, one of the most talented coaches in Europe today. She takes pride in being an example for the younger generation. Her optimism and fearlessness are well respected by the up-and-coming talent. She stopped her professional water ski career in 2009 participating in her last European Championship in Copenhagen, Denmark.
